The Complete Studies, Lessons & Exercises
Why should I use this edition rather than any other? – Because this Tecla edition of Sor’s Complete Studies establishes a new and fully reliable text, fully practical, at a very reasonable price, easily available with low postage worldwide. I (Brian Jeffery) established for the first time the complete edition of Sor’s guitar music, and this edition of Sor’s Complete Studies is again newly established strictly from the original editions. It is urtext and has no modern fingering, only Sor’s own fingering.
A guitarist, Robert Bell, after receiving and using this Tecla edition of the Sor Complete Studies for a while, kindly writes (February 2018):
Like every student, I have the “20 Studies”, but always found them in the “nice, but just nice”category, and there was something not quite right going on. Going through them (and the Carcassi studies) in the new/old manner was a revelation: “Oh! THAT is how they work! THIS is how they are supposed to sound!”
This is the standard edition of Sor’s Complete Studies, Lessons and Exercises for guitar edited by Brian Jeffery and published by Tecla Editions. It is prescribed by the Associated Board for all the studies of Sor which are in their current syllabus. This edition contains all Sor’s famous studies, lessons, and exercises for guitar complete in one book (opus numbers 6, 29, 31, 35, 44, and 60), at a low price specially for students. This edition is the only urtext edition of this music which is currently available, that is to say that it does not contain elements other than those from the original editions.
The only fingering in this edition is Sor’s own. That way the reader can be certain of having the authentic text as regards fingering.
Every piece has been newly edited by Brian Jeffery directly from the original editions. The book also contains Sor’s own detailed comments on several of the pieces. 140 pages. It includes all the well-known twenty studies which Andrés Segovia edited.
